If you're working on a development branch, then git push origin master
isn't going to do anything because you've asked it to push the master
branch. If you want to push your development branch, you need to run:
git push origin development
...or whatever you've called your development branch. And after doing that once, you should generally be able to run git push
without additional arguments.
